What Does My CT Scan Report Indicate?
My mother in law is 88 years old and has had a CT Scan - the results are that she has moderately severe chronic small vessel disease and mild generalised cerebral volume loss with ventricular enlargement, no signs of metastases. Does this mean she has vascular dementia??
